Beta Blockers

Beta blockers are a class of drugs used to treat high blood pressure and a wide variety of other conditions including arrhythmia and glaucoma. Beta Blockers block the action of the hormone epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). This oral medication causes the heart to beat more slowly and with less force, thereby reducing blood pressure. Additionally, they help open up blood vessels to improve blood flow.
